Pros

Flexible time and good benefits.

One good part about Oracle is you can keep your personal life. There are no limited sick days or work from home days.

Management will also approve regular working from home schedules, which is very nice.

Cons

Too much politics and no direct guidance on product direction.

Too complex a development environment to be productive.

Just like in any big company, you are not recognized for the good work you did.

The bonus and salary raise often tie to your manager's relationship with senior management.

Advice to Management

We should look at how to retain good people and reward people based on performance.
